The Boy Next Door

Chapter 5

Lunch time came around and I was already shifting awkwardly in my chair.
"Uhm, do you have to pee or something?" Amber said in a hushed tone.
"Nah, I just uh, I have a test next period and I didn't study. That's all." I lied through me teeth.
"You have a test? On the second day of school? Good try. Spit it out." Amber's deep dark eyes glistened.
Yeah, this was a perfect time to ask where James is.
"Alright fine. I've just been curious where James is today. Is he sick?" I asked.
"Oh. I didn't even notice. Guess I'm immune." Amber said playing with her peas.
"Immune? What do you mean by this? Is he out a lot? Why?" I said trying not to sound too confused.
"Woah calm down there. And uh yeah he's out all the time. Like every other day to be honest. His friends say he had a drinking problem. But I don't know why that would make him not come to school." Amber said throwing her fork in the garbage.
My heart teared a bit.
"What?! You mean he could be home right now completely snockered?" I said still shaking.
"Hehehe. 'snockered.' Sorry. And also some people say they have seen him do drugs at like parties and stuff but you can't believe everything you hear." 
I couldn't take it anymore.
How could such a beautiful boy do something so horrible that could ruin his life?
After school, I went into Ron's room.
Ron had music blasting and he was looking at his computer screen intensely.
"Ron. Ron! RONALD!" I screamed over the music.
Ron almost fell off the bed, and turned the music down.
"What in the bloody hell Noah? Are you trying to kill me?" Ron spat.
"Do you know a boy named James?" I said avoiding eye contact.
"Uh. Yeah, actually. He's quite a cheeky chappy now that you mention him." Ron smirked.
"Are you two friends? And why is he cheeky?" I said looking around his room.
"Yeah, but he was out today. Yesterday he was like rating all the girls in math and he was drawing two girls snogging on his paper." Ron said chuckling.
"Oh. Well alright then. A girl I met just wanted to know. Thanks." I lied.
But he was so darn fit.
I laid in my bed wondering what in the world was wrong with that fit as hell boy.
I decided to look him up on Facebook.
I texted Amber to see what his surname was.
I typed in "James Peterson" in the Facebook search bar.
What a beautiful name I thought to myself.
Like I guessed, all his pictures were gorgeous.
I decided that I had to friend him, even though he might not know me.
If he were in tomorrow, I would introduce myself to him. 
I just couldn't last another day.


Don't lose faith in james lovies! :} xx
